1. Repeating patterns.... Just way too much of it. It is the FIRST and FOREMOST reason that this map was killing me just playing it; it was just so dull.
2. Spacing is very important. You can claim that the spacing is to add to the difficulty, but inconsistent spacing is neither good nor can you legitimately say it's to add difficulty. My tip is to stick with distance snap for a while and stay away from the jumps until you've gotten more experienced at mapping.
3. Check to see that it's not already mapped or is not being mapped presently. Especially if it's being mapped presently (and a lot better as well). Older ranked maps you can definitely remap, so long as you intend to map it a lot different and potentially a lot better.
4. Be creative! Like with the copy-pasting, creativity in general is important. This means interesting patterns that don't set us doing the same motions over and over.
5. Timing is important as well. You have very little that's set to the lyrics or anything... Most of it is just 1 beat repeating sliders..... With the points already mentioned, making us do the same thing over and over at the same rate gets really dull really fast.
1.Okay, so you want me to be inconsistent? Lol, repeating patterns? What's the matter with that? I've seen other maps use pretty much the same for the whole song, yet I can't do it?
2.
Inconsistent? So you want me to not follow a pattern, yet be
inconsistent? What? It would kind of help if you showed me where exactly the spacing is inconsistent, as you say. I checked it over, and as far as I could see, there was no spacing errors. That's one thing that I made sure to fix in this.
3.Did you not read what I wrote? I said I personally did not like the other guy's version of it. No need to link it to me, I know it already exists. The main things I didn't like about it was that the sounds were soft, it wasn't that hard for insane, and I wanted to make a beatmap that centers around the rhythm, rather than the melody. Apparently, based on your comments, I'm not allowed to do that, but the Gojou Kai songs can? My apologies for trying to map it a lot different, as you say.
4.That's pretty much stating what you said in the first point, and I already said my thing about the patterns. If this isn't "interesting", then neither is Border of Life, Border of Death, Still Alive, and an abundance of other beatmaps. I fail to see what makes mine uninteresting.
5.Okay, so mine is just "1 beat repeating sliders", then Caramelldansen Insane is the opposite. Yet that got accepted.
I really don't see why I'm not allowed to do 95% of the things that other beatmaps do. Reputation, perhaps?
As for Border of Life, I never felt it was the same thing over and over. I always found that James' maps always had a certain feel to them, but they always push you over somewhere else before you've been doing the exact same thing for too long.
